Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endocrinology is a medical specialty dedicated to understanding the endocrine system, which regulates the release and function of hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, and other signaling molecules in the human body. These elements are critical for maintaining human health, and many diseases are either influenced by or result in hormonal imbalances. Conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunction, osteoporosis, growth hormone disorders, and infertility are just a few examples. In addition to their pathophysiological roles, hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, and other signaling molecules can serve as disease biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets.
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality, open-access articles submitted by editorial board members and leading experts invited by the editorial office and the Editor-in-Chief. Both original research papers and comprehensive review articles are welcome, provided they offer in-depth analyses and detailed summaries of the authors’ work. Contributions should focus on the molecular mechanisms and functions of hormones, the discovery of biomarkers, or the exploration of therapeutic strategies within the field of endocrinology.
